Or maybe not…!

Flavor: Mild

Wah… that was such a short date, wasn’t it? How come Tadashi’s date with Hikari lasted a whole episode, while Kei’s gets interrupted halfway? Meh. Well… at least there was still some Kei x Hikari goodness and it also looks like Hikari is finally starting to realize how much of an idiot she’s been all this time.

The new character they introduced this week is called Sakura, who’s supposed to be Kei’s fiancee via an arranged marriage. She affirms that she doesn’t really like Kei, though… and she’s just planning on marrying him since doing so would be of great help for her family’s business.  Anyways, both Hikari and her start to get along pretty well, so Sakura goes and asks her as a favor to find out which kind of woman is Kei’s type.

Also known as… Haruka Nogizaka’s Secret, The Secret of Haruka Suzumiya, etc

Flavor: Sweet

Initial Reaction: Aw, I thought they were going to show the entire OP from the fake anime series… just like in Genshiken.

Just a bunch of girls and chibis.

Flavor: Sour

Initial reaction: IT’S RAINING WOMEN

Wait, what? I thought this was supposed to be an eroge adaptation? Why the heck is there no male harem lead?! At first it doesn’t really seem like such a big deal, but… seriously, if the male protagonist from the game was so bad and useless that they had to remove him from the show, what can I really expect from the plot of the series and the rest of the characters? Also, the lack of a guy in the main cast totally nullifies any possibility of having romance on this adaptation… which leaves us with, what? Lame fanservice and a story that has been told numerous times before? Why, no thanks! So far, I think there’s only a single series on my anime list that contains an all-female main cast, and it’s probably gonna stay that way for some more time.

Bah, and to think I was actually looking forward to this one.

*shrugs* Another Akira episode.

Flavor: Mild

Well, after being forced to attend a commoners’ school for several days, looks like the SA members are back to their normal lives again… except for the fact that Akira has now been keeping in contact with Yui ever since then. One day, though, Yui decides to go and steal some expensive jewelry that she found on Akira’s room during one of her visits to the Toudou mansion. Then, in order to avoid Akira, she suddenly tells her that it’s troublesome for her when she does stuff like sending one of her luxurious cars to pick her up at her house and stuff, so from now on she isn’t coming to visit her anymore.

…where you wouldn’t find any buttsecks, and stuff like the scene above was the most explicit they could ever get.

Flavor: Mild

Initial reaction: I SAW IT, I SAW CAKE FANSERVICE

Also known as… Seiyou Kottou Yougashiten

Okay, before anything else, here are some brief character introductions for the main guys of the show: First, we have Keiichirou Tachibana, who’s the owner of the Antique Bakery and who also seems to possess some kind of childhood trauma involving… a kidnapper who had a thing for sweet cakes, oh boy. Then, there’s Yusuke Ono, the famous gay of demonic charms. He refers to himself like that because he claims he has the ability to make any kind of guy fall in love with him instantly, but it looks like it doesn’t work with Tachibana since he like got rejected by him when they were on high school. And, finally, we have Eiji Kanda, a retired boxer… who only appeared for a few minutes in the whole episode talking with his old coach.

Oh and, well, there’s also Chikage Kobayakawa, who I think is the guy with sunglasses who showed up at the beginning of the episode… but I guess I won’t talk about him until he’s properly introduced in the series.
